tanteI personally consider "I asked ChatGPT to generate a response to you" not witty but a form of an insult. Don't do that please. If that is how you want to talk to people at least don't tell me. It's offensive.
Large Language Madam@tante My correspondence would then consist solely of pure commands and direct instructions.

Hannah (With a snake problem š)@tante "I asked ChatGPT" sounds like "I don't even really care what I write to you."
The only response should be "Not wasting my time with someone that does not want to have an honest talk."

I realize that the only way I could respond to that would be: "cool, but I didn't ask chatgpt. What's your response?"
Then I could watch their brain short circuit having to internalize and paraphrase chatgpt. Or at least, they'd be leery to mention that ever again.
Femme Malheureuse@tante On the other hand it's an efficient way to identify people to block so they don't produce even more CO2 just to tell me they can't be bothered to interact like a human.
Human Brain Enthusiast@tante "let me google that for you" is a great insult from the ancients (~2005)
dbu@thomasfuchs @tante came to the comments to say this. I think there was a website that let you do shortlinks that animated the google search.
We used it when people adked trivial questions they should just have looked up themselves.

Ben š“āā ļø@thomasfuchs @tante Google has become so unusable that "let me Google that for you" in 2026 sounds less like snark and more like a kind offer to take one for the team.

datarama@tante I know a person who has, in an actual face-to-face conversation with me, pulled out his phone to ask ChatGPT what to say to me.
@drahardja @tante No. I was so shocked I basically just got stunned and didn't know what to do. It felt so absurd that my brain felt like it had to do a hard reset.
Gergely "Fuck AI" Nagy@algernon @drahardja @tante This guy was outsourcing his conversational skills to ChatGPT in early 2024!
Huchgott@datarama @[email protected] During a meeting about our companyās stance on AI, our boss asked ChatGPT what the role of a software developer would look like in five years. š¤¦
Reginald@tante In the movie "A Soldier's Story," the black Captain Davenport visits the white camp commandant's home. The commandant's wife brings the commandant a drink on the hot day, and solicitously offers to "have someone bring you a drink" to Davenport.
Yes, she maintains propriety towards an officer reporting to her husband, but no, she absolutely will not personally hand a drink to a black man.
Same energy.
Guillaume Ross@tante Iāve had people do this to me when I need their specific alleged expertise. Itās a great way for me to filter out the asshats I donāt need input from.
Lauri KotilainenFor me, the absolute worst context is a work discussion where someone says this. To me, it communicates āI donāt know this subject, and now itās your job to figure out if this tracks with reality.ā
Iāve made it a personal policy to ignore the contents that follow those words _and_ inform the person speaking of it too.

Wenn der Kollege, dessen Expertise Du schƤtzt, auf eine sehr spezifische Frage aus seinem Fachgebiet nur mit einer Bildschirmseite copy&paste aus Copilot antwortet š Das ist doch das gleiche, wie wenn hier jemand eine Frage stellt und jemand anderes eine KI-Antwort drunterkleistert. Gibt's dafĆ¼r schon ein Wort? Vor allem fĆ¼r das GefĆ¼hl der EnttƤuschung? š¤

These organizations are ignoring the tech needs of the real world economy in favor of creating a global financial collapse instead.
They act like corrupt government contracts, Goebbels-style propaganda, Wall Street frauds, & oil oligarchy is the only possible niches available for the future.

rozie@tante Why? Because it suggests you are not smart enough to do something? Or some other reason?
I guess it is transparent. It provides help (the best given person can give, probably), the source and instructions how to get it by yourself in the future. If you don't like it, you can just ignore the answer. Or person.

David Culley@rozie If I wanted the output of ChatGPT, I would've asked ChatGPT myself. When I ask a groups of humans specifically because I want an answer from an experienced human user and someone replies with LLM output, that adds absolutely nothing of value to the conversation. It furthermore implies that the person thinks I don't know how to use ChatGPT, which is insulting. It just wastes my time.
@davidculley So giving an answer based on RFC, encyclopedia, book, manual or Wikipedia implies that a person asking a question does not know how to use them and is insulting too?
If not, what makes the difference?

M@ Bntn š½@tante āAI:DRā is definitely my mindset. The olā āif you canāt bother writing it I wonāt bother reading itā stance.
Steppe Lord@tante my boss asked me to define the conventions of a new project we were going to start working on. After I finished the docs and sent them to him, he answered with slop. I.e. he didn't read them just asked chatgpt to summarize and send 'advice' and 'corrections'. And yes I can confirm it is offensive.
pookiesorcery@tante in my case "asked [insert llm here]" is a quick way to loose credibility. also... "google" is a company, not a verb (being so is just marketing), the action has always been "search". i have not used google search in years... my 2 cents
